Nohria-Stevenson Profiles (Acute Heart Failure)
Nohria-Stevenson clinical hemodynamic profiles (Nohria 2003) for acute heart failure — the bedside 2x2 classification by congestion (dry vs wet) and perfusion, the clinical counterpart to the invasive Forrester classification.

Example
- Congestion
- Wet - congestion present
- Perfusion
- Cold - hypoperfusion
Result: Nohria-Stevenson profile C: wet and cold - congestion with hypoperfusion; associated with the worst outcomes.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- Profile A / B
- Warm (adequate perfusion). A: dry (compensated). B: wet (congested) - the most common ADHF profile.
- Profile C
- Wet and cold: congestion with hypoperfusion; associated with the worst outcomes.
- Profile L
- Dry and cold: hypoperfusion without congestion (low output).
What you enter
- Congestion
- Perfusion
